The mosque is the first mosque that been built on the shores of Adriatic since 5 centuries, the ottomans were the last who built a mosque on the shores of the Adriatic. Dušan Džamonja probably had in mind the rich tradition of dome construction of Ottoman mosques on the shores of the Mediterranean. With his sculptural approach he gave 'the new meaning to the old theme'.
